Killed over a photo? Kim Pham was knocked to the ground and savagely beaten by a group of men and women after a friend said she may have accidentally ruined their picture by walking in front of the camera

Plea: Posters have been put near the crime scene appealing for information about the attackers


A 23-year-old student who died after she was brutally beaten outside a club in California may have sparked the savage attack by accidentally photo-bombing a group of people as they were trying to take a picture. 
Kim Pham was declared brain dead in the wake of the Saturday morning incident in Santa Ana. On Tuesday, she was taken off life support and pronounced dead at 12.36pm.
A friend of the victim revealed that Pham was outside The Crosby club when she may have accidentally wandered in front of a camera as a group of partygoers posed for a snapshot.
A heated argument followed, which according to police, culminated with two men and three women beating Pham unconscious and leaving her for dead.  
One female suspect in her 20s is police custody and has been booked for assault with a deadly weapon causing great bodily injury. Her identity has not been released.
The suspect has not been named, but is described as in her 20s and has been arrested for suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and causing great bodily harm. She was identified thanks to video footage of the attack filmed by a bystander.
Miss Pham was rushed to hospital following the attack and listed in extremely critical condition. 

Her family kept her on life support until they could donate her organs, according to the LA Times.
Her family only found out that she was an organ donor after she was admitted to hospital.
